Now that we are fully into the fall season, the weather can get quite variable, and it looks like we are about to go through another storm pattern much like the one we saw last Friday and Saturday. A cold low pressure center is moving onshore over the next couple of days. The result today will be strong winds ahead of the cold front - enough to kick off a wind advisory for most of western Nevada and eastern California. The winds will be followed by a decent chance of rain and high-mountain snow (snow level around 7,000 feet) Wednesday.
